🚨BREAKING NEWS: #Diatec, the keyboard illuminati behind the #FILCO brand, has finally pressed Ctrl+Alt+Delete on itself. 🙄 Apparently, the world couldn't handle the majestic complexity of a keyboard supporting BOTH wired and wireless connections. Who knew typing could become so obsolete? 😂 #RIPFILCO

Sabiendo lo que vale un #Filco ver los precios de un #Logitech o #SteelSeries apesta a timo.

Filco makes keyboards? I thought they just made really nice and soft wrist rests (don't worry, I learned good typing posture and only use it when I don't need to type much, or when I'm not typing and need to put my elbow on something).

I recently bought a #Majestouch 3 keyboard, here are my initial thoughts:

https://www.iredale.net/b/blosxom.cgi/2023/06/20#keyboard-filco-review-3-0

Got my new #Filco Majestouch 3 keyboard home and started to use it. It's the same Cherry MX keys as my old Majestouch 2 "TKL" keyboard but it sounds and feels quite different. The slightly larger case possibly makes the sound different.

I'm very split of over the numeric keypad, the ergonomics of the TKL are better but the numeric keypad is useful...

Review will follow.

Old and new Dell Latitude laptops are very similar, but the new one has lost the classic inverted T cursor keys, has the stupid fingerprint reader where the Delete key should be, and the scratch pad is horrible. The nipple is missing as are Page-up/down.

I mostly use a proper #Filco mechanical keyboard and mouse, but when I have to use it as a laptop it's an ergonomic disaster.

Cool. Excluding milady IBM Model M that I have to properly clean due to a malfunctioning key, I'm still on TKL format (#Filco Majestouch 2 and #GMMK 1 barebone with custom keycaps).
I've tried the Royal Kludge RK61: very nice piece and quality, but 60% format is too small for me.
I'm still tempted by the 65%, just like your K6.
Or the big jump to an ergo/split one like #Ergodox.

I'm almost thinking to sell my #Filco #Majestouch 2 TKL with #Italian #ISO layout and #Cherry MX Blue #switches, customized with blank #Windows keycaps (no Windows logo): https://www.keyboardco.com/keyboard/italian-filco-majestouch-2-tenkeyless-nkr-click-action-keyboard.asp (29/08/2019 review is mine...).
If someone wants it, I'm here.

Sto quasi pensando di vendere la mia #Filco #Majestouch 2 TKL con layout #ISO #italiano e interruttori #Cherry MX Blu, personalizzata con tasti #Windows neri (senza logo Windows): https://www.keyboardco.com/keyboard/italian-filco-majestouch-2-tenkeyless-nkr-click-action-keyboard.asp (la review del 29/08/2019 è la mia...).
Se qualcuno la volesse, sono qui.

Well, wonderful keyboard but, except for the price (that is anyway absolutely reasonable for such a keyboard), the weight is almost the same as the #Filco, so no gain. Unfortunately, because I liked that configuration very much!

I'm becoming a #mechanicalkeyboards nerd.. Owned an IBM Model M for 25 years. A couple of keys became a bit unreliable, so I bought a #Filco #Majestouch 2 TKL with #Cherry #MX #Blue switches in 2019.
Now I'm planning to grab a #Keychron #Q1 ISO, but I'd like to understand, first, how to use #VIA and #QMK to program the keys in order to have Italian layout: there are no Italian accented letters in VIA/QMK UI.
Does anyone have VIA /QMK usage experience? Can someone explain me?
